Government rules made easy. Just ask.

SHORT ANSWER: Yes, there are landmark Supreme Court cases that address the limitations of a governor's discretionary powers in India. DETAILS: - The Supreme Court in the case of "Bihar Legislative Assembly vs. Keshav Singh" (1962) ruled that the governor's discretion must be exercised in accordance with constitutional provisions. - In "Shamsher Singh vs. State of Punjab" (1974), the court held that the governor's discretion is not absolute and is subject to judicial review. - The case of "Rameshwar Prasad vs. Union of India" (2006) emphasized that the governor's actions must align with the advice of the council of ministers. PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable): - If a governor acts beyond their discretionary powers, such actions can be challenged in court and may be declared unconstitutional.
